Abstract

A liquid breath spray for orally delivering a vitamin dosage and freshening the mouth of a user.

Description

BACKGROUND

The present invention relates to the fields of oral hygiene and oral vitamin delivery.
One of the most troubling aspects of society today is that very few people have or take the time to care for their health. Unfortunately, living a healthy lifestyle has taken a backseat compared to vanity, for most people. For example, if you look into most peoples' medicine cabinet, you will probably find a bottle of mouthwash, yet you will not find one vitamin supplement.
This dilemma caused the present inventor to conceive a product that would appeal to ones vanity while at the same time delivering a health supplement. She realized that most people were vitamin deficient because of the hustle and flow of the modern times.
She realized that she had to develop a product that would be used by people to deliver a vitamin that would not take them out of their routine. People tend to care greatly about their oral hygiene, for it is one of the first aspects a mate will have to consider when first meeting a prospective partner.
An object of the present invention is to provide a disposable oral delivery vitamin shot.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a device that will allow a user to freshen his or her breath while concurrently absorbing a vitamin supplement.
A further object of the present invention is to provide users with a product that will fulfill two purposes, breath freshening and vitamin supplementation.

SUMMARY

The present invention is directed to a product that is both a breath freshener and a vitamin supplement. The product is a liquid breath spray that orally delivers a vitamin dosage while freshening the mouth of the user. The liquid breath freshener satisfies the need of having a product that will serve two purposes: it is a vitamin supplement and a breath freshener.
These and other features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following description and appended claims.
